WARRANTY

AFTERSALES BULLETIN
MARCH 3, 2020

TO: all Authorized Land Rover Retailers
RE: 9HP Transmission Extended Warranty - USA
The extended warranty coverage is applicable to Land Rover 2015MY Discovery Sport (L550) and 2014-2015MY
Range Rover Evoque (L538) vehicles imported and sold as new in the United States (the “Applicable Vehicles”) and
extends the transmission warranty coverage to 5 years or 62,500 miles (whichever occurs first).
What does this Extended Warranty cover?
This extended warranty covers all repairs to, or replacement of, the 9HP automatic transmission assembly, any
internal parts, and updates to operating software on Applicable Vehicles. Additional emission warranties applicable
to the Transmission Control Module and Valve block are unaffected by this extended warranty coverage.
What do Retailers need to do?
Repairs to Applicable Vehicles will follow the standard Jaguar Land Rover repair process.
Retailers must:
Check for eligible vehicles on the warranty coverage section of the Land Rover DDW inquiry screen;
Follow the repair procedures provided in TOPIx; and
Submit a warranty claim via the warranty system.
NOTE: where the standard 4-year/50,000-mile Land Rover warranty has expired (but the 5-year/62,500 mile
extended warranty has not yet expired), the warranty claim must be submitted using Program Code ‘TRN’. All
warranty claims related to the Transmission control module and valve block beyond the 4-year/50,000-mile Land
Rover Warranty should continue to use the relevant emissions warranty Program code ‘S07’.
Customer Reimbursement Process
If a customer has indicated that they have already paid for this concern as a normal retail repair (after the
expiration of the standard 4-year/50,000-mile warranty and before the expiration of the 5-year/62,500 mile
extended warranty), the process for reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses is detailed in the customer letter
and customers should be directed to follow the claim steps set out in this letter.
Goodwill Vouchers
Customers affected by this concern will be offered a service and parts voucher which can be used toward the
purchase of a Jaguar or Land Rover vehicle or towards parts or services on an existing 2015MY Discovery Sport
(L550) and 2014-2015MY Range Rover Evoque (L538) vehicles. The voucher amount depends on the number of
times the customer has visited a retailer within the first 4 years or 50,000 miles. Where a customer presents a
voucher, reimburse via Goodwill using the standard non-mechanical ‘CE’ process. Upon receipt of a claim form,
vouchers will be supplied to eligible customers by the Customer Response Team-9HP, in accordance with the
details in the attached customer letter that Land Rover is mailing to all owners of affected vehicles. Please see
sample voucher attached.
